How does LUMRYZ work?

The active ingredient in LUMRYZ is sodium oxybate. But unlike other oxybate options, you don’t need to wake up in the middle of the night for a second dose. This is because LUMRYZ contains a unique blend of granules that work in 2 ways: • Immediate-release granules start working as you fall asleep • Controlled-release granules start working later in place of waking for a second dose

Is LUMRYZ effective at treating narcolepsy?

Yes, LUMRYZ was shown to improve symptoms of cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with a once-at-bedtime dose.

Can I switch to LUMRYZ if I’m currently on a different oxybate?

Only your doctor can decide if LUMRYZ is right for you. LUMRYZ is approved for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy.

If you’re currently taking an oxybate, your doctor can switch you to LUMRYZ at the closest dose equal to what you’re taking now.

How should I take LUMRYZ?

With LUMRYZ, you take 1 premeasured packet, once at bedtime. See the Instructions For Use on how to prepare, shake, and take LUMRYZ.

The quality of your sleep at night can make an impact during your day.

“Excessive daytime sleepiness became this voice I couldn’t ignore that said, ‘I need to go to sleep, I am too tired to be here right now.’

I wasn’t skipping out on activities I enjoyed because I wasn’t interested in them anymore—but because my body was telling me I had no choice but to sleep.”
– Katie L., living with narcolepsy

With narcolepsy, you may be facing disruptions around the clock

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), or the persistent feeling of drowsiness during the day, is typically the first symptom of narcolepsy people notice.

Most people with narcolepsy also experience disrupted nighttime sleep.

Some people also experience cataplexy—sudden periods of muscle weakness that can be triggered by strong emotions.

Other symptoms you may have include sleep paralysis and sleep-related hallucinations.

These disruptions create a burden for people with narcolepsy both during the day and at night when trying to sleep.

Your treatment shouldn’t add another nighttime disruption

Current treatment options may cause or even require interruptions in sleep

Other oxybate options require waking up in the middle of the night to take a second dose.

Some daytime treatments approved to treat narcolepsy may cause insomnia.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: Taking LUMRYZ™ (sodium oxybate) with other central nervous system (CNS) depressants such as medicines used to make you fall asleep, including opioid analgesics, benzodiazepines, sedating antidepressants, antipsychotics, sedating anti-epileptic medicines, general anesthetics, muscle relaxants, alcohol, or street drugs, may cause serious medical problems, including trouble breathing (respiratory depression), low blood pressure (hypotension), changes in alertness (drowsiness), fainting (syncope), and death.

The active ingredient of LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate) is a form of gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a controlled substance. Abuse or misuse of illegal GHB alone or with other CNS depressants (drugs that cause changes in alertness or consciousness) have caused serious side effects. These effects include seizures, trouble breathing (respiratory depression), changes in alertness (drowsiness), coma, and death. Call your doctor right away if you have any of these serious side effects.

Because of these risks, LUMRYZ is available only by prescription and filled through certified pharmacies in the LUMRYZ REMS program. You must be enrolled in the LUMRYZ REMS to receive LUMRYZ. Further information is available at www.LUMRYZREMS.com or by calling 1-877-453-1029.

INDICATIONs

LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate) for extended-release oral suspension is a prescription medicine used to treat the following symptoms in adults with narcolepsy:

sudden onset of weak or paralyzed muscles (cataplexy)

excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)

It is not known if LUMRYZ is safe and effective in people less than 18 years of age.

Do not take LUMRYZ if you take other sleep medicines or sedatives (medicines that cause sleepiness), drink alcohol, or have a rare problem called succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.

Keep LUMRYZ in a safe place to prevent abuse and misuse. Selling or giving away LUMRYZ may harm others and is against the law. Tell your doctor if you have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines, or street drugs.

Anyone who takes LUMRYZ should not do anything that requires them to be fully awake or is dangerous, including driving a car, using heavy machinery, or flying an airplane, for at least six (6) hours after taking LUMRYZ. Those activities should not be done until you know how LUMRYZ affects you.

Falling asleep quickly, including while standing or while getting up from the bed, has led to falls with injuries that have required some people to be hospitalized.

LUMRYZ can cause serious side effects, including the following:

Breathing problems, including slower breathing, trouble breathing, and/or short periods of not breathing while sleeping (eg, sleep apnea). People who already have breathing or lung problems have a higher chance of having breathing problems when they take LUMRYZ.

Mental health problems, including confusion, seeing or hearing things that are not real (hallucinations), unusual or disturbing thoughts (abnormal thinking), feeling anxious or upset, depression, thoughts of killing yourself or trying to kill yourself, increased tiredness, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and difficulty concentrating. Tell your doctor if you have or had depression or have tried to harm yourself. Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of mental health problems or a change in weight or appetite.

Sleepwalking. Sleepwalking can cause injuries. Call your doctor if you start sleepwalking.

Tell your doctor if you are on a salt-restricted diet or if you have high blood pressure, heart failure, or kidney problems. LUMRYZ contains a lot of sodium (salt) and may not be right for you.

The most common side effects of LUMRYZ in adults include nausea, dizziness, bedwetting, headache, and vomiting. Your side effects may increase when you take higher doses of LUMRYZ. LUMRYZ can cause physical dependence and craving for the medicine when it is not taken as directed. These are not all the possible side effects of LUMRYZ.

For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
